"The renewal of Icardi with Inter is far away today. There are very important clubs interested in hiring Mauro and we are very far from reaching an agreement", said Wanda Nara, wife and agent of Icardi, on January 9 in an interview with the newspaper AS. Where would the scorer go after this refusal to renew with Inter?
Real Madrid: the strongest candidate … and the neediest
The offensive deficiencies of Real Madrid after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo are undeniable, so this would be the main reason to look for Icardi.
According to the newspaper Marca, the top scorer of Real Madrid in 2018 was a player who barely played for five months and is no longer on the squad: CR7, since he scored 28 goals in 22 games but left the team in July to go to Juventus of Italy.

The low effectiveness in 2018 of the attack players of Real Madrid is overwhelming: Gareth Bale barely managed to make 27 goals in 48 games, Benzema only scored 18 goals in 53 matches, Asensio made 8 goals in 24 games, Isco managed to make 8 goals In 43 games, Lucas Vasquez scored 7 goals in 52 games, Kroos scored 4 goals in 42 games and Modrić barely scored 2 goals in 45 games.
According to the newspaper AS, Icardi has scored 120 goals in 204 games with Inter since he arrived at the club in 2013, which means an average of 0.57 goals per game, that is, more than 20 goals per season. It is for this effectiveness that Real Madrid follows the track closely to the Argentine.
Why would Icardi not renew with Inter?
Icardi is moving away from Inter Milan for money because his salary does not seem to correspond to his performance. "We still have not received a satisfactory proposal from Inter (…) It is not logical to renew for the same thing Mauro charges now, we believe that Mauro is at a higher level", said Wanda Nara in an interview with AS.
Similarly, the Inter's leven now a days is not the best, as it is third in the Italian league to 14 points behind the Juventus leader and was eliminated surprisingly from the UEFA Champions League in the group stage last December, so it must play the last sixteen of the Europa League.
The objectives, expectations and ambitions of the Argentine striker could place him in a more competitive team that at least seriously disputes a title.
However, the Italian club would not be willing to let go of its star player so easily.
According to La Gazzeta dello Sport , the 'Nerazurri' would offer a contract of 7 million euros per year, which would include bonuses for objectives or performance bonuses. Negotiations will not be easy, as Wanda Nara would ask for the sum of 8 million euros net per year.
Chelsea, PSG and Barcelona can also enter the dispute
In world football it is clear that a player of the stature, age and effectiveness of Mauro Icardi can not interest a single club. Several are the teams that closely follow the situation of the Argentine, because it could mean a great reinforcement for their staff.
"We have a very good relationship with two big clubs in Spain, one from France and one from England, that are very interested in Mauro," said Wanda Nara, so it is clear that Real Madrid is not the only club interested in signing up. Icardi. It is understood that Barcelona, PSG, and Chelsea are the other clubs that would try to hire the Argentine striker.
However, the player has a contract with Inter until 2021 and a clause of 110 million euros, to which must be added the 100 million euros in which the gunner is assessed. Although there are several pitfalls that the team that wants to hire Icardi will have to overcome, he has just started a strong dispute over this lethal front.
